I am open to great ideas, if someone knows how I can use my press to
separate the transformer, I would be delighted. The press is genuinely
double acting and can be used for pulling -- bt the pulling force is a
lot less than the pushing force.

Copper is sticky/gummy stuff to cut with a saw. Miners used to use
chisels to cut float copper into pieces small enough to handle. I would
try an air hammer (like they use for muffler removal) with a reasonably
sharp bit in it (shrug).
